Also I noticed people mentioning how at the start of tournaments within 1-2 hours people always have like 1k+ tournament points. If you use real money and buy energy as I stated above, then that is very easy... you could also buy the 100 red gem card packs, which grant you 100 tournament points, but that'd take $100+ real money to do that... My guess is... most people just either have just waited and not leveled up or seduced until the new tournament and did it right away... or they spent real money and farmed using the red gems on energy.
